What To Expect

What to expect from your surf lesson
We'll start with a light warm up sequence and an explanation of how to paddle and stand up on the surfboard. Once you are comfortable with the technique, before surfing I review all the safety rules to assure the best experience possible, then we will jump into the water to catch some waves. I will be by your side to advise which are good waves to catch and will also give you directions. Be prepared to have fun gliding on the water and an unforgettable experience in paradise!

Frequently Asked Questions (8)

Q: Will I get seasick on Private Surf Lesson?

A: If you have any doubts about becoming seasick on the water, we recommend taking a Dramamine® Motion Sickness Relief tablet the night before your trip. Some people recommend taking it the night before your cruise and then again that morning so you will not feel so drowsy. Read more Feb 2023
